A journey of discovery

I have recently taken a large interest in Haiku Poetry, something i have never heard of before. Haiku is a form of japanese poetry. It is a poem of 3 lines, which captures a fleeting image, a sense of beauty, wonder or sadness. It consists of only 17 syllables. The first line containing 5, the second 7 and the third 5. A haiku does not ryhme. Haiku poets write about everyday things, usually using simple words and grammer.

I feel that the beauty of this style is the challenge to successfully put the poems meaning and imagery in the readers mind in only 17 syllables over just 3 lines.
